Background
Justin Fernandez owns Horizon Pack and Ship, with retail shipping locations in Radcliff and Elizabethtown. HPNS is an authorized UPS, FedEx, DHL Shipping Outlet and a USPS Approved Postal Provider, serving home-based businesses, government contract winners, military families, and Hardin County residents who need shipping done right the first time.
He served 15 years in the U.S. Army as a Sergeant First Class, with two deployments to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom as a maintenance and logistics advisor on 12-man teams supporting Afghan Kandak commanders and the Ministries of Interior and Defense. The logistics experience runs the store.
Horizon Pack and Ship scaled from one to two locations in 10 months, moved over 750 shipments in year one, and earned over 300 five-star Google reviews across both stores. The stores offer multi-carrier shipping (UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS), packaging and supplies, mailbox rentals, notary services, printing, and managed logistics support for government contract winners.
Justin also owns Horizon Print Shop and Horizon Business Hub, the agency arm that delivers Managed Operations for SMBs. The systems that run HPNS run his clients too.
Expertise
Horizon Pack and Ship is one of the few independent multi-carrier shipping centers in Hardin County, serving home-based businesses, government contract winners, military families, and residents who need shipping done right the first time.
